And wild flower* growing in I lie field,
Like some whom wo cull poor. I
But in a crowiled city street
Hho nn<l hor mother dwell ;
Their lUtlo room so dark and damp,
It makes me sad to tell.
Bat Annie i* a happy girl,
Far happier, it may he.
Than Rome who wear their silken robes
'Mid scenes of joy aud glee.
For in tho Sunday school she learns

Where ]>eiM!C and plenty dwell,
Come learn to love your Saviour Lord,

Vindication of South CaroJ'na in the Virginia
Convention.
The following is an extract of a spcccli delivered
in the Virginia Convention by Mr.
Morton, of Orange County :
I say, then, this question must bc.scttled.
You have said so; the country has said so.
It is the pcace of the world that we call for. 1
How can the question be settled ? My friend j
from lieclford (Mr. Gogpn) referred to a Na- I
uonai convention. it l>at _\ationnI Convention
had been held in time, we might, porhaps,
have had some hope from such a source.
Who is to blame tlutt there was not such a
National Convention ? Can it be said that
the much-abused little State, .South Carolina,
which this day 1 honor as much as I do the
heroes of Thermopyho, is to blame? No;
that gallant little State cannot be complained
of, for when you were invaded here and your
soil was bathed in Virginia blood, and you,
(turning to Governor Vise,) like a true man,
led the hosUs of .Virginia to repel the inva- |
dor, however you may have received the censure
of some, I do say cvory lady of Virginia
paid you her meed of applause, and I tendered
to yo^u personally my thanks and my approbation?when
Virginia was invaded and you
wcro in the Gubernatorial chair, South Carolina
sent her Commissioner here to sympathize
with Virginia, to make the grievance a
common cause, and to invite co-operation in
devising measures for future security. Mississippi
did the same. And how were they
received and how were they treated? They
were treated kindly, as gentlemen. You re
coivcti them cordially as the Kxccutivc of the
Sfcitc. Hut the legislature, after the most
powerful and thrilling appeals almost that I
think L ever heard,tho Legislature of Virginia
determined that she could take care of herself,
and that each sovereign State could take l
care of itself. And after South Carolina had
thus been turned away from the door of Virginia,
and the time had come when she (South
Carolina) felt that her honor and her safety
were involved?because she took the responsibility
of.au independent sovereign State,
she is denounced upon this floor for rashness,
for indiscretion, for a want of deference, that
she did not invito Virginia to a further
council"
I say, sir, judging of nations by men,
there is-not a man who has brought forward
this cnnplaint?including my gallant friend
from Rockbridge, (Mr. More,) if lie was in
his seat?but would havo cut his right arm
off if, in a common danger, he had appealed
to a common friend to unite against a common
enemy, and hchadtold him coldly, " I will
tike care of myself?you take care of yourself."
When the danger came he would re
11.*..? 1I..1 1 '-.I I 1 > II..
uim-ut Liiin, miiu iic wuuiu nave nazaruea mis I
life before he would hove invited that friend
to a .mutual council for mutual protection
ngain. So that while my friend from lied- !
ford complains, lot him complain of the rijjht
source. Do not complain of gallant South
Carolina and Mississippi, but complain of
Virginia. If tliore is a blame to rest anywhere,
then denounce Virginia?denounce
your Legislature. I am casting no censure
upon those who to'.ik a different course. 1
told many of them at the time, " you are acting
unwisely, and you will bring about the
very thing that you wish to avoid." They
were very adverse to going into a Southern
council, because if tlicy went into a Southern
council, they were fearful that the action of
South Carolina, and of other States, would
result in a dissolution of the Union. I believed
then, and I believe now. that if Yir
ginia had taken Jier stand in that Southern
council, sho would have had the same influence
then that she did have in the times of
the Revolution. Had Virginia, however |
much they might have differed from her, i
looking to her ancient fame; looking to her,
great material interest; looking to her posi- I
tion ; hftd-Virginia taken the stand which pa- ,
triotism required of her, South Carolina
would h.ivo yielded, and other Southern
States would have yielded to the counsels of
Virginia. But Virginia rejected the offer,
aud the crisis came.
After the election of Mr. Lincoln it was
Relieved by the Southern States that there j
would not bo time to organize a Southern j
Conference to take definite notion so ns to J
meet the crisis by the 4th of March ; and I |
appe.il with candgrto iuy friend from Bedford,
fMr, (roggin,) if in the ino.ith of October:
or the month of Soptomber, there should have
been an appenl from South Carolina io Virginia
to go into a conference, whether she
would not havo received tho samo answor ?? j i
No, fir; South Carolina has done her part to 11
proservo the Union. And if Virginia liad i
exerted herself as South Carolina has, and
had been as sensitive to Southern rights and j
Southern wrongs ns South Carolina has been,
klrh Convention wonld not havo been to day
in deliberation. i
But Mr. President, whilst T am upon that
aubjeet, 1 will do furlhor justice to South
Carolitin, I do not know whether I heard
i*v ' upon this floor that sho noted cowardly in going
out nlono; bat ? have heard it ofteg in
ttaeeowntr^ if not hero. And I have often i
replied to nn imputation of that kind in this t
way: <4t|4 would show a very gallant roan 1
who would go to South Carolina and proclaim t
that before South Carolinians." Whilst I
have ween many of my fcllow-eitijcens from all
the State* of tho SeuAfe and of the North, i
L .Lm.li-.JJ.' JU
ami whilst my position for sovcrnl yonrs past
lias enabled iuo to mingio freely with them, I
cau say that nmoug all my warm hearted
friends from the South and from Virginia?
for they all have a sea in my inmost heart of
hearts?yet, I must assert that if there is one
portion nearer tho centre than another, it is
gallant South Carolina. 1 have never known
of more refinement and loss assumption
among any class of gentlemen than among j
the South Carolinians. I say that in vindication
of South Carolina.
And whilst 1 am upon that subject, I will
vindicate her still further. My friend from
Hockbridye, (Mr. Moore,) spoke of thedisre- .
spect with which South Carolina treated tho
Virginia Commissioner. I saw that Commis- I
sioner yc:?tcrdny, speeiully, witli ? view of inquiring
what was tlie fact poncterning that 1
matter. lie.told me that lie had made an of-1
ficial coinftuuiicntion to tliis Conventioi , '
which was in print, and I presume every j
member of this body has received it. lie '
said, that whilst his heart was warm by rea- |
son of the Uention which was paid to him as i
the rcpre;. ive of Virginia, if it was
warmei tor n any one spot more than'anoth- |
er, that place was Charleston ; that there
could net have been more rcspect shown t<>
the representative of any State than was paid
by Soutl Carolina 10 the representative of i
Virginia. And whatever may be the efforts :
of mv friend from Hcdford and my friend
from Rockbridge to speak of a feeling and to t
generate a feeling between pouth Carolina j
and Virginia because of what tlioy will have
tho organ of South Carolina, the Charleston j
say, the Commissioner tells me, as j
the sentiment of every heart, that there is a j
warm sympathy with Virginia; and whilst
they would rejoice in a Union with any of
the border States, Virginia, the oldest, and
most interested, and her fame more distinguished
than any?she is the one they would
prefer.
1 can but express my astonishment that in
a body so grave as this, not an assemblage in
which we are candidates for official position,
but a body representing the aggregate sovereignty
of Virgiuia in its greatest wisdom?
that it should be gravely presented here that
the Charleston Mrrruri/ is tlio organ of South
Carolina, and that the expression of th<?
Charleston organ is the expression of South
Carolina.
Arrival ok the Kirst Japanese Merchant.?It
is not unlikely that many of the
statements made in recent letters written
from .Japan by disappointed naval officers,
who anticipated a " magnificent ovation"
there, are grossly exaggerated. A San Francisco
paper reports the arrival at that city of
a Japanese merchant, whocumcto purchase
goods to be sold in his own country. This is
the.first instalment of a traffic that, we trust,
will be both extensive and permanent.
Dull Timks in St. Louis.?"Chatty,"
the knowing St. Louis correspondent of the
NW Orleans Delta, writes, on the 10th, as
follows:
" As an indication of the times, and the
condition of affairs in this city, 1 have it
irom good authority (a house agent) that
there are now within the corporate limits of
this city five thousand vacant houses, which,
if put together, would make, in themselves,
quite a respectable city?and they arc, for
the most part, large and finely finished.?
Men who, a year ago, were satisfied to pny
from ten to fifteen hutuued dollars a year for
a resilience, arc now content with a house at
from two hundred and fifty to tliree hundred.
This may he a change of taste, hut I am
mi nor inclined to tlnnk it is a change of circumstanccs.
In any event, so ninny vacant
houses is but a b id indication of prosperity."
Amusing Tonohanck.?The Wilmington
/Ierafti tells the following, which would be
more amusing but for the reflection that such
ignorance as this bears its full share in shaping
State policy :
Patience is a virtue which ought to characterize
the people of North Carolina in an ;
eminent degree, for they are called upon to ex- j
ercise it SO often tllllt. lll>li*?? 11 in v urn I

poor scholars, they must be imbued with its
very spirit. Some people call it by n differcnt
name, but, after all, it nwy bo that the
slowness with which ?ms is circulated among
the people has a groat deal to do w:?'> the formation
of their character. ~\Ye heard there
was a man in town the other day, from a
neighboring county, who, when something
was said about secession, remarked, that he
supposed that idea had been abandoned long
ago; that nobody would carry out that threat,
to be sure ; and when asked " what he thought
about South Carolina, for instance ?" he said
he didn't know anything particular about
that State?that ho hadn't bf.cn to town for
three, months, and hadn't heard anything from
there! Hq was utterly lost in ama/.omcnt
when lie learned that not only Nuuth Carol inn
had sccedcd, hut that a now Government had
been formed at the South.

An Empty Tukasi;uV.?There was a lion- j

Policy of the Western Power* Towards the
Southern Confederacy.
Will the revelation of the dangers which
11 i ** - * *
wouiu accrue to Europe truiu n break up on {
tlio otlior sidu of the ocean bo powerful enough 1
to modify tlio too hnstily and generally ex- 1
pressed impression in favor of the Northern I
States? Without much hoping it, wo sincerely
desire it; for the public opinion of Ed* <
rope could, by pronouncing itself in time,
arrest a catastropho. which' most scviously <
compromises its commercial interests.
It is scarcely a year since the Emperor,
with the boldness which springs from pro- i
fouud conviction, inaugurated a new com- '
mercial policy, by adopting an economical
system, 'destined to give agriculture and , i
tmdo an impulse which would place France '
in the front rank among commercial uation.s >
and develop her maritime relations in all <
quarters of the world. [
These ideas naturally lead us to examine I
whether Kuropean predilections and interests 1
are uot on the wrong track in abandoning
themselves unreservedly to the doctrincs of ^
the Northern States.
The Northern section cannot change its '
commercial instincts; they are a consequence '
of its very nature. It will bo after as well '
as before the dissolution of the Union, in fu- j
turo as it has been in the past, a country |
adapted exclusively to the miKim? > '
. ?r r x" p I ,
with a commercial and manufncturinjr popu ^
lntion. In other words, the North dues now, i
and will henceforth more and more, compete !
with European industry, for already in default 1
of tho monopoly of manufactured products '
towards which she is tonding, she beeomcs of I
necessity an intermediary between European ' ^
manufacture and th'e Southern consumers. ! .
The South, on the contrary, produces two i
great staples which are, to Europe, objects of ! '
the highest necessity?cotton and tobuevo.? (
She is a producer of necessaries and a con- ,
sutner of manufactured productions, lias it '
ever been seriously conteinplnted the com mo- j
tion which the failure of a sinnnMnn nnm
?which support# so ninny branches of tr;ide,
nnd, directly or indirectly, affords employment |
to more than ton millions of hands?would
produce ?
In retrard to tobacco, without mentioning (
the deficit in the State budget which would
result from its annihilation, could our populations
so easily forego a product which more, '
perhaps, than sugar, coffco and cotton, consti- '
tutes for them an imperious necessity. There
is no need to disguise it, the deprivation of
those two staples wou'd assume amongst us
the character of a public calamity.
Acitlicr must it be forgotten Hint it is those
two staples which pay, almost entirely, for
French manufactures sent to America, and
which amount in value to more than 300,000.000
francs. "
l>ut let us continue. The South, far from
having, like the North, rival interests with |
Kuropc, has, on the contrary, tho same or
rather eo relative interests. Confined, in
short, to the extensive cultivation of those '
articles which Europe cannot do without, the
South has been eoinnclled. nn to tho nrnsciit
i -i- - i
in spite of constant protests, to p.<y an enormous
tribute to the North, in the shape of
Custom House duties, for no other reason than 1
to protect Northern manufacturing interests <
without any advantage to herself-?at least, !
unless we choose to consider it an advantage t
for the South to aid ngninst her will a Gov- 1
eminent which does not fear to proclaim open- (
ly its sentiments of hostility and aversion.? '
Mr. Lincoln has declared that the time for
1 ? i T<> ? . >
vwiiafiiwiiiiou nun jjiiravu. ii, reiuruing to sen- 1
timents worthier a great nation, the North :
permits the new Confederation to bo mistress |
of the plenitude of her rights, then the pie- :
ture chancres at onec. Cotninercial liberty
becomes the fumlamentiil law of the .Southern 1
Republic; her ports will be free to the com- ^
tncroc of lOuropc, whose merchant marine 1
will be quite naturally substituted for that of J
the North. 1
It suffices to call the attention of publicists '
to these facts, in order that tliey may endeavor
to moderate, in Europe, the too ardent desiro t
of changing suddenly the position of one i
particular class of the human family. t
Let us not bo deceived ; the South exhibits t
>o imioli rashness and audacity only fiom tlie t
belief taught it by the European profs, that .1
tho inhabitants of tho South, too weak in I
numbers to resist its attacks, will not find on
this side of tho Atlautio a single generous t
sentiment, much less a moral support. Will t
philanthropy so far blind European commerce (
as t< make it forgetful of its own interests.? <
AVe do not think so, and already England, c
profoundly moved, awakes at length to the 1
reality ; she begins to measure the whole ex- t
tent of the disaster which menaces her manu- j t
factures; she no longer disputes the fact in j (
mjmu? 01 ner .\ooiition tendencies, that her j i
commercial interests depend in a great nlca- i I
sure oil tlie prosperity of the South, which I s
Kuropo hns a deep interest in seeing pre- | t
served, at least temporarily, her institutions, a
now attacked with so much vehemence. i
The question is a plain one; we have said a
that the South, far from being the aggressor, }
as it seems to he generally supposed, was the \
vietiin of Northern pretentions. Those re- 1
eent words of the Emperor nlso find an eeho t
in the bottom of our hearts?" Franco has t
no desire to meddle in any way where her in- t
to rents are not ut st die ; in fine, if she has t
sympathies for what is great and noble, she s
does not hesitate to condemn everything that I
violates justice and the rights of nations."? s
Public opinion will appreciate thorn on both f
sides of the Atlantic, and will find for the (
great intevw>ts at stake i 11 the American crisis, t
